News and Announcements / Taking A Stand Against President Trump’s Executive Order

As SUNY presidents from across the university system gathered in Albany today for their regular meeting, SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman H. Carl McCall shared the following statement on behalf of him and CUNY Board of Trustees Chairman William C. Thompson, Jr.:

“We as Chairmen resoundingly decry and oppose President Trump’s recent executive action attempting to deny entry into the United States for individuals from seven countries of “concern.” Not only does this display stand in opposition to the fundamental ideals of our country, it undermines the values of American higher education and threatens our economic advancement as a nation.
